a4ld conversion

I got a 94 explorer. The A4ld tranny is out on it. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if their is a better trans I can put back in replace of the a4ld.or if I should just have this one rebuilt I have heard nothing but bads things about them. Is their anything to that?

Well what I would do is just rebuild it but, you can switch to the 4R44E or 5R55E but they require electronics so that conversion most likely will be a pretty penny for installation.

imo, They get the bad rap because people overheat them and do not change the fluid as often as they really should. I got 187K+ out of my A4LD in my AWD Aerostar by changing the fluid every 20-30k.

The A4LD isn't bad as long as you maintain it. If you are looking to go to a different transmission, Advanced Adapters makes an adapter to use a GM v6 700-R4 tranny with the explorers and retains the stock starter, driveshaft and t-case.
